We first see
Dexter inside the house, shooting photos of a murder scene. A
man named Jack has had his head bashed in, and the cops must deal with
his grieving fiancé, Fiona, who is in a state of shock.

Quinn arrives
and Debra goes outside to meet him, giving us a look at the houses across
the street in this residential neighborhood.

Back inside,
Fiona refuses to part with Jack's clothing as evidence, until Quinn comforts
here and talks her into letting go (prompting Debra to remark "He's
like the f***ing Witness Whisperer!").

Later, Quinn
also interrupts Debra's questioning of Fiona, at the police station, as
they try to get more information from her about the murderer, causing some
tension between the two.

But
when Dexter does a blood-spatter analysis of the scene, it turns out that
the killer wasn't 6-foot tall, as Fiona has said, but was, instead, her
own height.

They soon discover
that Fiona herself was the killer. Jack's friends never heard of Fiona.
She was a stalker who had simply invented their "relationship"
to satisfy her own deeply-held fantasy, then killed him to stop him from
shattering that illusion.

Q.
What is it actually in real life?

A. A residential
home - but not in Miami.

Q.
Where can I find it in real life?

A. This home
is at 3800 N. Weston Place,
in northwest Long Beach,
CA.

That's
on the same street as Miguel Prado's home, but on the opposite (east) side
of the street, and just a few houses to the south. It's on the northeast
corner of Weston & Bixby Road.

The
houses across the street, glimpsed in the outdoor part of scene, are on
the west side of Weston. The large green one is on the northwest
corner of Weston & Bixby.

It's
just a block southwest of another "Dexter" location: the home
of Maria LaGuerta, one street east of the white
home that Rita & Syl were trying to sell, and about three
blocks west of two other locations, the Angel
Food Donuts stand on Long Beach Blvd and the spot where Debra spied
on Ramon.

A. The
challenge of finding this location was complicated by the fact that you
never really see the crime scene house itself, just part of its front walkway.
What you do see is a partial view of what is across the street,
two houses - a smaller yellow one on the right, and a larger, green house
on the left.

What
threw me off course here was the larger house. On TV, with only part of
it visible, I mistook it for an apartment house. And since I knew that
there were no apartment houses on Miguel Prado's street, I didn't bother
looking there, and instead focused on other neighborhoods - without success,
of course.

I finally
got a tip, from a departed artist, that it was on the same street as Prado's
house, and knowing that, I found it very quickly. Not only did the two
houses across the street match, but so did the walkway of the house itself,
something confirmed by the photos I shot later.
